[gbean]

So I am under the impression that this info from the Axial blog is innacurate....

"AXIALFEST Ultimate Team Adventure Challenge – UTAC Intel

$30 per team. Eventbrite Registration Coming Soon!"

(see the original post here)


By my math, the UTAC us $180/team.
Unless the $60 entry is supposed to cover two of the three members.

RECON U.T.A.C INTEL

The Ultimate Team Adventure Challenge™ or U.T.A.C. is the premiere team adventure challenge and the only radio controlled scale challenge that uses a GPS to navigate. Last years champions, Team MRB, did a great job in navigating, problem solving, and completing challenges. Imagine geocaching with your G-Ride or scaler and adding several challenges that will test each team and those teams members. Who will dethrone Team MRB and add to the legacy of the Ultimate Team Adventure Challenge™ Axialfest Champions?

U.T.A.C. Overview and Details

The RECON U.T.A.C. Team consists of 3 members. Each member drives their own Axial based scaler & each team member plays a distinct role. The “Driver” is the team captain & will communicate with the G-Crew & is responsible for the Teams Log Book. The “Navigator” is the team’s GPS & will use a GPS device to navigate the team from each preset destination. The “Support Driver” will carry all special equipment for the team & will achieve this by pulling a trailer or driving a 6×6. Teams must stay together at all times unless a skill section or special task states otherwise.

- There will be several preset G-Caches. Each team will determine in what order to obtain them.
- Each G-Cache must be located with a GPS & will contain directions as to what tasks needs to be performed. This may require all team members or only a certain team member to complete.
- Some G-Caches may require some puzzle solving.
- Only one team at a time can be at a G-Cache. Teams that arrive at a G-Cache that is occupied by another team, must wait until that team completes their skill task before they can continue. A team waiting should stay back at least 150 feet from a team that is at the G-Cache.

There is a 7 mandatory scale item requirement for every team member’s Axial based scaler.

Support Driver Items

- Must carry the Drivers spare tire.
- Must carry a small flashlight.
- must carry a 1 inch square piece of steel wool.
- Must carry an 10 foot long piece of string/rope that will support the weight of the drivers vehcle.
- Must carry one magnet, able to lift 3lbs.
- All items must be carried on the rig. This includes all items picked up during the event.

Note: A team member must carry binoculars. This is up to the team captain who carries them. The binoculars can be carried around the neck or in a back pack or on a belt.

G-Cache Locations

There are no trail markers guiding teams to the G-Cache. The Navigator will direct his/her team to the location using only a GPS. Teams will have to locate the G-Cache, much like Axial fans have to locate the Axial Geocache and then follow the directions & replace the G-Cache back as it was found.

RECON U.T.A.C. Teams that complete the tasks, have the fewest penalties, & can survive the Ultimate Team Adventure Challenge™, will have finished the World’s premiere scale team event.

Good luck, RECON U.T.A.C. Teams & God speed.

Am I to understand we are to have our own GPS device?

Can't wait!!!

Picture of the my Honcho Version 2.0 with New Body, New Paint, New Light Bar, New Wheels, New TIRES!!! now I have to decide which one to run one for G6 the new Built Jeep or the Honcho....

[DISTURBIN' tha PEACE]

Bags packed, flight leaves in about 14 hours!

[gbean]

I think I messed up then.
I bought:
G6 entry - $50
UTAC entry - $60
And Terra-X entry - $20

So I am thinking I paid for an extra G6 entry if I am thinking clearly - (it is 3AM and I just finished a ton of wraith wiring so bear with me.)

I don't know what events you want to run, so I don't know either. I'm sure you can get it sorted out there.

most likely you can get reimbursed for the extra ticket.maybe..but the G6 entry is $50

Will there be registration "at the gate"? If I want to add a class or if someone goes up there and wants to say race in the terra x, can they buy a ticket?

[Skeeno]

You can always register and pay at Axialfest. You can add any event there is the desire strikes. The preregister is for planning and so participants can get their shirt size and stuff.

[Rusty Crawler]

Bubu lubu on board. Axialfest 2013 or bust...

[Ty@Tekin]

READY. Now I just have to pack all my shiz.

[NaZ-T]

Rigs are ready.... I think (you can never truly plan for Parker)

I still haven't found time to paint my pontoon boat, but I'll share what I have so far. I had skooter push it around and ram it with his tug boat to test for stability My G-ride looks right at home on the water

[65BAJA]

I like this design. I may steal it.

LOL I don't know. It took months of research and may more for fabrication. Along with major red tape from civilian contractors and government grants to get this bad boy finally ready for G6 action. Even then I could be killed for leaking these test photos I snuck out of the top secret testing facility.

[War Pig]

The pontoon boat I built last night looks exactly like that, only my deck is sheeted in aluminum.

[Ty@Tekin]

Ok now I'm actually ready, put the new shocks on the Wraith! Time to pack up the car!

[DISTURBIN' tha PEACE]

I hope you guys don't laugh when you see my "boat". Couldn't build anything like those since I have to fly.
